Singed seemed to be smiling happily, while Lux looked at him expressionlessly.
"Okay, let's not talk in circles." As if he had laughed enough, Singed finally spoke again, "Miss Lux, maybe we should discuss how to get along with each other in the future."
"How to get along?" Lux was stunned for a moment by Singed's choice of words. "It seems that you are very sure that we will not become enemies."
"Because there is no need." Although Singed looked ferocious, his tone was very talkative, "I have no intention of intervening in the matters between the Alchemist Baron and you."
"Thank you very much." Hearing what he said, Lux felt a little more relaxed. "However, to correct you a little, that is not between them and me, but between them and Zaun."
"What's going on with Zu'an?" Xingid blinked, with a puzzled expression on his face, "What does this have to do with Zu'an?"
"I just want them to hand over what they took from Zaun." Lux spread her hands, "There is no personal grudge."
"It's really an interesting statement."
"Although I don't have any personal grudges with the Alchemist Baron, I do have one with the Noxians." After confirming the Alchemist Baron's situation, Lux quickly talked about another topic, "Excuse me, Mr. Singed, are you
What is the relationship with the Noxians?"
"They..." Xingjid blinked his little eyes, his expression seemed to become cunning, "They used to be my sponsors, but because they did not send the funds on time, the sponsorship relationship has been terminated now."
"I'm talking about the latest batch." Lux said in a serious tone, stopping Singed's sloppy behavior, "not the batch that bought your alchemical gas."
"Miss Lux knows so much." Singed took another bottle of "soda" from his waist, shook it casually, and then opened the bottle cap again with his thumb, "There is indeed a Noxian."
The Si ladies are trying to become my new sponsors - however, I am very picky, and now at most I have some intention of cooperating with them..."
"It's great that we haven't really reached a cooperation." Hearing what he said, Lux breathed a sigh of relief, "They caused serious damage to Zaun, and were also involved in a horrific tragedy - if you have reached an agreement with them
Once the agreement is reached, I’m afraid I’ll have to change my sponsor.”
"Oh, then my luck is really not that good. Without a sponsor, I'm afraid my experiment won't be able to continue." Singed raised his head and said vaguely, "By the way."
, Miss Lux, how much do you know about alchemy technology? Are you interested in becoming my sponsor?"
"I don't know much about alchemy technology." Although she had vaguely guessed what Singed meant, Lux was still a little surprised to hear him invite her so directly, "As for becoming a sponsor,
…It depends on what your research is, and the research specifications.”
Lux thought her attitude was fair - considering that Singed seemed happy to hand over the Alchemist Baron and the Noxians, she also showed her sincerity and was willing to give him a chance to transform himself.
Considering that Singed's potions and poison gas caused a lot of trouble, Singed himself has also participated in many human trafficking and violent incidents, and it is very likely that Ionia will not let him go easily in the future, Lark
It is extremely rare that Si is willing to give him a chance.
However, after Singed heard this sentence, he raised his eyebrows with few eyebrows in disbelief.
"Research content and research specifications?"
"That's right." Lux nodded, and followed what she had prepared before, combining the rules of Piltover and Shurima Labs, and began to talk about her idea, "Zun will provide special funds to
Support and reward those technological projects that can bring development to Zaun, including but not limited to alchemy technology, hex technology, magic plants and even rune technology..."
“You want to be a sponsor to a lot of people?”
"It's not me, it's Zaun." Lux corrected again, "It's not my personal support, but Zaun's financial support..."
"And the price is to determine the research content and research specifications?" Singed's tone was a little subtle, "Accept command and supervision?"
"This is what it should be." Lux spread her hands, "At least we must ensure that the experimenters and the experimental products are safe enough..."
"In other words, you want to interfere with the alchemy experiment?" Singed finally stood up straight, "Little girl, am I too kind to you, so that you have some misunderstandings?"
Singed's sudden change of expression without warning caught Lux off guard. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly came up with some bad guesses.
It seems like he cares about being interfered with in alchemy experiments?
Or is it that he still doesn’t think there is anything wrong with his previous experiments?
"Hazardous alchemy experiments must be banned." Although it is very likely that the negotiations will break down, Lux's attitude is still firm, "Hand over the Alchemy Baron and Noxian spies, and standardize the research content and research form. This is
My bottom line."
"That's... such a pity!" Xingjid sounded extremely disappointed, as if he was a poor child who had been looking forward to a birthday gift for a long time, but after opening the package only found a stack of blank exercise books, "Little girl, it seems that you and
There is no difference between those ordinary people - I prepared extra reason and patience for you, but in the end, there is still no gain... What a pity, what a pity!"
"I think there may be some unavoidable contradictions between us." Lux carefully organized her words, "In other words, you have always maintained some dangerous views."
"So, we can't reach an agreement this time." Singed threw away the glass bottle, and then glanced at the broken glass on the ground with some pity, "Miss Lux, I heard that you once hoped to be Victor's sponsor.
people?"
"That's right, but he finally chose Piltover, which has a better environment." Lux nodded, "Do you know him?"
"I know him, I've known him since he was very young..." Xingid stooped down again after regaining his composure, "I thought he would be a person who truly understands science, but unfortunately, he is not."
"He is." Lux narrowed her eyes slightly, "No matter from which angle."
"So, neither are you." Singed did not continue on this issue, but turned around and ignored Lux, "It seems that you are not willing to be my new sponsor..."
"Unless you can accept the review of experimental content and process specifications." Lux decided to say the last word, "For this, I have a detailed and reliable process..."
"I thought you would be different, but now it seems that you are no different from those Picheng guys." Singed breathed out heavily from his nostrils under the bandage, "I will hand over those alchemy barons to you, but Nuo
The Texas people... they are my new patrons."
"This is impossible." Lux naturally would not give in on this issue, "Furthermore, even if I don't fund your research, as long as your alchemy laboratory is still in Zaun, it must be reviewed—"
"...That's enough." Singed finally became impatient, "I shouldn't put my hope in you guys who don't understand alchemy science. You just open and shut your mouth about experimental specifications and process audits - I don't have any
Time is wasted in your complicated and meaningless rules!"
"This is not a complicated and meaningless rule, this is the most basic ethical norm for experiments." Lux refused to give in, "I can not hold you accountable for your past human experiments and addiction experiments, and I can even help you withstand the consequences of
Diplomatic pressure on Ionia—"
"Alchemy experiments don't need to have the ethics you mentioned!" Singed finally stopped covering up, "Alchemy technology is absolutely free. I can research whatever I want to study; I can conduct whatever human experiments I want.
Just conduct human experiments - I spent gold on those experiments!"
"Does handing over gold hex to slave traders count as spending gold hex?" Lux finally gritted her teeth, "I should say that I was the one who misjudged you. I thought you were just a person under harsh conditions.
Scientists who have no choice, but now it seems that you have no bottom line at all!"
"Science has no bottom line!" Xingid said plausibly, "Open your eyes, little girl, look at Zaun, look at Piltover. If you want Zaun to rise according to your ideas, then don't prepare any bottom line.
!”
"This is impossible!" Lux raised her tone, "Many of your experiments are extremely destructive, and their results can easily be applied to war - especially to the indiscriminate killing of civilians in war.
This is definitely not the right direction for science!”
"Having results is the right direction." Xingjid still insisted on his own ideas, "Someone must buy my results, use them to kill people or save people, what does this have to do with me?"
"Then why did you conduct the alchemy experiment?" Lux held the hilt of the sword again, "If you are really as you said, just for the research of alchemy technology, then why have you so far,
Are all results destructive?"
"Little girl, are you not from Zaan?" Xinged finally laughed silently after hearing this, "You must have never heard of the wind of change - the only constant in this world is everything.
The world is constantly changing...Technology should be the leader in all these changes."
"..."
Singed's statement made Lux's eyes widen.
"Technology changes the world, and I am the leader of this change..."
